California researchers have determined that losing the Super Bowl can have adverse effects on the fans rooting for the losing team. Steelers and Packers fans should be forewarned if their team should lose this February 6, 2011, in Super Bowl 45.
Its authors, all from California, are Robert A. Kloner (from the Heart Institute, Good Samaritan Hospital, Los Angeles, and Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California), Scott A. McDonald (RTI International), Justin Leeka (Good Samaritan Hospital, Los Angeles), and W. Kenneth Poole (RTI International).
The researchers studied the 1980 Super Bowl and the 1984 Super Bowl. Their research came out just in time for Super Bowl XLV on February 6, 2011.
In the 1980 Super Bowl game, the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Los Angeles Rams. It was played in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
In the 1984 Super Bowl game, the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Los Angeles Raiders defeated the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Washington Redskins. It was played in Tampa Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

'¢ 1980 Super Bowl (in which the L.A. Raiders lost to the Steelers, in Los Angeles, California, in an in-town game in Los Angeles, California.
